Two of Six Break-In Suspects Arrested

Police have arrested two suspects in connection with the Tuesday break-in at Dick's Sporting Goods store in Centrum Shopping Center. (See previous post) Six men threw a brick through the front window of the store and stole several guns.

The broken window triggered a silent alarm and Pineville police were there in minutes, but the suspects escaped the scene -- some in a stolen Mazda Protégé and the others in a green Ford Taurus. The Taurus crashed in a nearby parking lot and police were able to apprehend 20-year-old Jerrell Boyd (Left) and 16-year-old Quenton Dye (Right) when they jumped out to run.

Officers also recovered 10 shotguns, a rifle, a handgun and some tennis shoes from the car. Authorities say four suspects are still at large and they're considered armed and dangerous. Police say they are still missing three guns and ammunition.
